Summary:A concrete base block is provided which is intended for use in a free-standing wall to provide a base course formed of similar such blocks. Further courses are laid on top of the base course to form the wall. The preferred base block provides a first rounded convex end; an opposite second rounded concave end; first and second sides extending between the first and second ends, a through-core arrangement extending completely through the block from the top face to the bottom face; and first and second hand-receiving indents in the bottom face and along the first and second sides of the block. The hand-receiving indents are provided along the side of the block and extending into the side from the bottom face of the block, only partially up the first side of the block, so as to accommodate a user to insert at least a few fingers under each of the first and second sides of the base block when the base block is resting on the bottom face on the ground.
